RECOMMENDATIONS
The committee in its final session made some suggestions for the effective
implementation of scheme of studies for BS 4-Years in Sociology, which are as under:-
2. The members of NCRC may be requested to act as Master Trainers for the
above proposed training.
3. HEC may arrange a review meeting after 2 years to incorporate the lesson
learned from the implementation of this scheme of studies.
4. The Ph. D thesis of sociology may be published under monograph and text book
writers’ scheme of HEC.
5. HEC may constitute a committee from members of NCRC to review the locally
published books on sociology for inclusion in the list of recommended books for
BS 4 year program.
6. The NCRC seriously observed the shortage of relevant books and particularly the
indigenous teaching material. Consequently, the members were of the view that
HEC may enhance the honoraria for writing books especially in the field of Social
Sciences and extend other supports as well.
7. The members also realized the shortage of HEC recognized journals on Social
Sciences in the country and proposed that HEC may extend special financial
support to launch new journals in the field of social sciences.
